[ncl-talk] NETCDF to GRIB

[Alan Brammer]

Grib files are center specific so are not something that the average user can generate from scratch.  They rely on codes and underlying tables, hence the many emails regarding new variables in forecast files that NCL struggles to read until such tables are updated.  

Existing Grib files are fairly easy to manipulate yourself, using grib_tools from ecmwf among other options and you can concatenate the files together to make large single files. But you can’t, with any tool I believe, create a grib file a netcdf however due to the basic nature of the files. 

I may be wrong on this and maybe something is out there that can force a way around.
